McAllister - Ricoh Return Can Start New Push

Last updated : 04 September 2014 By Covsupport News Service

Former Coventry City player and manager Gary McAllister has said that coming back to the Ricoh Arena can spur City on to better things.

It's a one-club city and they don't want to get ahead of themselves but Coventry have a proud history in the Premier League," McAllister told Press Association Sport.

"It was a club who were established in the Premier League, there were flirtations with relegation but they managed to stave it off until they went down (in 2001) I remember one particular escape at Tottenham (in 1997).

"I hope this pulls everyone together and I'm sure they will get some proper attendances now. There's a good hardcore fanbase in Coventry and they can use that to push back up to where they should be."
